That being said, I’m still not pleased with the number of artists DC is throwing on this book because, more than anything, this story needs some consistency. I found Batman 89 to be just as mediocre as the other Tynion issues. It ultimately makes him seem like an amateur, and makes the rogues look even worse.Also, if the Designer really is this brilliant guy that creates the perfect crimes, then why haven’t we heard of him? I do wonder if there is some hoarding going on with the stores though. Repeat.By the end of the issue, it all felt so generic and vague that I ultimately just want this arc to end. So I found issues #87 and #88 a bit slow and starting to drag, so did drop this series, but because of all the excitement surrounding the one panel first apperance of Punchline, I just caved in and bought it (at cover price,... The Designer isn’t at all what I expected but I love the costume. Merlyn Douglas Worth The ideas he’s behind are just too simple and obvious to warrant the praise and reputation he has. It stars Batman. Tynion should’ve taken a page out of Snyder’s book wit the Court of Owls, and, at the very least, had Batman reveal he’s heard of the Designer, but state that he’s just a myth.

Edward Nygma You’ve got Catwoman telling Batman what happened years ago. No, that falls on Tynion and his habit of telling versus showing. Even the bat penis hysteria the stores still had copies days after the book was going on EBay for triple the cover price. Probably, batman has a lower print now also so I am expecting a second print of this.

Nearly the entire issue is just people standing around and talking, and I have the suspect that Jimenez was as desperate for something to happen as I was. I think it’s the same speculator hysteria that we saw over the Bat penis. Read your favorite manga scans and scanlations online at Manga Reader. I’m not going to beat around the bush… Batman #90 isn’t a great issue. This page contains information about Batman (Volume 3). Punchline, Joker's new sidekick appears in just 2 panels. Penciller, Inker It’s actually a first full appearance of the Designer and cameo of Punchline. Pretty aure all LCSs have an agreement with Diamond that forces them to sell retail price for a few months.

Why has Bruce never heard of him? I just think it’s painstakingly generic and predictably boring. Not eve a full reveal! Colorist, Cover Artist Unfortunately, despite how much I love Jimenez’s art, there isn’t much for him to do here. I'm not into speculating. Matt Tomlin is...

speculators desperate for that next big issue. This issue spends so much time trying to build up the Designer as this legend and myth, but everything about him falls short. It’s too much of a stretch to believe. Oswald Cobblepot Loved it. I can't help but have a laugh at speculators clamoring over this book. Selina Kyle Wow the hysteria people went over this comic. I'm with you Bee_Man , I picked both up for cover price luckily, so only time will tell Is this going down as the first appearance of the designer? The Designer is coming to take your wealth and leave you with nothing.Unfortunately, that reveal – which is on the last page by the way – was so painstakingly obvious that it makes it hard to take the Designer seriously. It's a glorified cameo appearance that won't matter six months from now. Why are the rogues acting like a bunch of gullible, brainwashed children with him? I wouldn’t blame the LCS. My lcs had several copies with no one interested, I picked up the Mattina variant just to check it out.

I've grown bored of him and the Joker in particular. Lather. I believe she shows up in 1 panel so its more like a cameo.

Bruce Wayne Alexis Kaye The same 20 "collectors" are going to be buying and selling this issue amongst themselves (graded and priced in the triple digits, of course) and it's going to be sad.
